New York Medical Record

The unpleasant possibility of pollu-
tion of the Hudson river ice, which we
so largely use, from Troy and ALBANY
sewerage, has not greatly disturbed u.s.
since the bliss of our ignorance has been
too comfortable to give up without
reason.
We dono apologize for devoting a large
part of the present issue to a series of
studies which throw much light on the
subject of impurities in ice in general.
and particularly that which is used in
New York These studies seem to es-
tablish, on precise experimental evidence
the fact that disease-producing bacteria
may live for long time in ice The
bearing this fact alone on the use of ice
which Is cut in sewerage-polluted water
any where is too obvious to need further
comment
1t is very difficult to establish an abso-
lutte standard of purity as regards the
bacteria, either in water or ice. because
as Vet SO little Is known about the hosts
OF them which seem to be the natural
denizens of most water. We would call
attention To the fact that DIR. Prudden
has endeavored, in laying down his
standard of bacterial purity, or rather of
allowable bacterial impurity, in water or
ice. to place his criterion. even at the ex-
pense of absolute definiteness, on the
side of safety, position which would
seem to be necessary, so long as our
knowledge of common bacteria is incom-
plete.
While the tendency of these researches
would seem, at first sight, to add to the
burden of a moderately safe existence, a
careful study of the results shows that in
reality they are in the whole reassuring
rather than otherwise. because in the
place of suspected unknown dangers
they point out to us the exact nature
and extent of the evils, and the easily es-
tablished measures by which their avoid
ance may be secured.

The True Doctrine.
Orange County Reporter.

One gentleman, somewhat prominent
in politics, declared in our sanctum, that
if this matter was pressed it would disOr-
ganize the Democratic party in the State.
Chas. Ananias Burnthatcontract III.
Jones has said that if this thing is thor
oughly ventilated it would defeat Gov.
Bloxham for the Senate. If the Demo
cratic Party of Florida, if Gov. Bloxham,
if the Internal Improvement Board, If
Messrs. Dancy and Duval cannot stand
by the record they have made, it is time
for them to step down and out. We are
as loyal to the Democratic Party as any
journal or individual in the State. But
we owe our first allegiance to truth and
justice full exposure of all the facts
will damage no party or individual
whose hands are clean. A wanton, ma
liciOus and baseless assault upon clean
record can only result in confusion and
disgrace to he who makes it. He who
is fortified with truth and justice can
afford to defy the world if necessary.
The Reporter has enlisted for the war.
1t is willing To accept the result.

earnest work made by himself and
friends in his behalf during his canvass.
The Mayer says further that in the in
terest of certain parties he manipulated
the police force so as to shield the gam
bier, and that he failed to enforce GER
tain ordinances in the interest of public
order against the sale of liquor on Sun
day. Then the Mayor asks the good
people of Pafatka to forfeit their self-re-
spect and stultify themselves by voting
for him again
Corruption breeds corruption" says
Mayor Baldwin. What then will be the
guilt of the voter who gives this Mayor
his support and attacks the dearest in
terests of himself and his neighbors by
prostituting the ballot to unworthy uses:
The parties in Palatka now stand on
three platforms and the issue has ceased
to bear any personal aspect. The plat
form of III. r. Teasalale is made up of his
he ever been energetic in furnishing
crime, enforcing the law or suppressing
disorder: Is the man whose record Is
thus made up in the past, the man we
want for the present and the future:
In country village III. r. Teasdale is an
executive officer blameless and entirely
trustworthy in city the gambler
laughs at him-the saloons are open in
direct violation of the law, and disorder
works its own sweet will. He is a blame
less citizen, but he is supported by an
element rhieh does not make Hdmeiess
officers.
Another platform is made up of a rec
ord which We do not care TO discuss
further Like Teasdale. Baldwin is a
good citizen; but tn, .. who support him
must indorse the corruption and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which lie behind him.
And there is still another candidate
who stands upon a platform plainly ex-
pressed, open to criticism and subject to
comparison with a record yet to be
made. The men who support John L.
Cav are those who make up the law
and order" element in our midst. No
man will say they have been influenced
by the saloons or anything coming
therefrom; no man will say that such
support has been secured by bribery or
that the administration of the law in its
widest sense could bring danger tn
| themselves or to their business.
When ballots are weighted by brides
| the shot gun is lurking in the back
ground; disorder is as naturally the child
of misrule as anger springs up under in
jury And when whiskey overflows
opposition it always leaves devils who
lead reaction as tide follows tide. The
interests of all are identical-rightly
understood each man in community
has his share of the prosperity which
comes to the fortunate or skilful. How,
then, shall we work wrong or shame and
expect to- keep our own garments un,
spotted? The good man must not give
the sanction of his name to evil-we dc
not gather grapes from thorns nor figs
| from thistles.

The Eagles Clutch.
Titusville Star.


Col. MacCauley, of Kentucky. who
has been spending the winter season
with DIR. OrndOff, had quite an adven-
ture with an eagle just before he started
for his home last week. He shot at an
eagle and wounded it severely and when
he started To pick it up, thinking it was
nearly dead, the eagle suddenly closed
its talons upon his wrist. the claws pass
ing through the flesh, and he could not.
with the other hand. release the claws
of the bird. DIR. Orndof in
forms us that he had to cut
the hgaments of the flesh be
fore his hand could be freed from the
birds clutches. For a man as advanced
in years as Colonel MacCauley, We must
say he has no fear of danger. During
his stay here this winter, while down in
the Indian River Narrows, he waded out
into pond towards an alligator and
suddenly thinking he hadn't his gun,
opened his pocket knife and started for
the mOnster-his friends being some dis
lance away; but the alligator seemed to
take in the resolution of the old man
and instead of making an attack, disap-
peared under the water and fled tn more
safe retreats.

The MAYORS Duties

1t has been objected that the Mayor
cannot perform police duty and there
fore he is not to- blame for non-enforce-
ment of the law-he cannot take cogni-
Zance of breach of the ordinance till
an affidavit of the fact is made before
him-that the Marshal, not the Mayor,
is responsible if policeman winks at an
open door on Sunday or is the only man
in the community ignorant of the loca-
ton of a gambling den."
These objections to our arraignment
of late incumbents of that office are
honestly entertained and therefore are
entitled to- honest answers.
1t is not expected that the Mayor shall
perform police duty, but he is the head
of the city government and therefore
responsible for the work of his subordi-
mates. The policemen are his subordi-
mates, for they are appointed by him.
He has authority to- remove or suspend,
and this carries with it the supposition
that he will inform himself as To- whether
they perform their sworn duties or not.
Ii they carry out their written instruc-
tions they are bound to report each in
fraction of the law, and they are also
bound To make themselves acquainted
with these infractions of the law. And
if the Mayor does his whole duty he will
inform himself as to whether the police
men are equally vigilant.
And we differ with Mayor Baldwin
when that gentleman believes that he
is not bound to enforce the law when
breach of it is notorious-we hold that
he must enforce all laws, good or bad. as
long as these are on the book, and that
his opinion of the law cannot interfere
with his duties as executive officer
Also we hold that he should not wait
till pnblic opinion has denounced an Of
Tense, and we hold that he yields to I'M
however prominent" to secure the re-
moval of an officer without cause, or for
fear that an Offense will be- brought to
light.
If an offense notorious and the POI
lceman alone is ignorant, should not the
Mayor call him to account for remiss-
ness: suppose the whole Republican
ticket is elected, will Mayor Teasdale do
more for the peace and quiet of the town
or the rigid enforcement of the ordi-
nances than he did when Doyle was
Marshal: Is not past failure a guaran-
tee of that of the future? Mayor Bald
win declares his remisness arose from
lack of power to control the Marshal.
Mayor Tsasddie wiH hare the same con-
ceptioH Of has duties, and he TiU hare

Bone and Shell for Fowls.
Farm, Field and Stockman.

Ii is question with some physiolo-
gists whether bones, shell and other or
ganic substances of like nature when
swallowed by animals, really enter the
circulation aud assist in the nutrition of
like substances in the body. There can
be no question To the fact that these sub
stances do not enter the circulation until
dissolved and held in suspension by the
fluids of the stomach and bowels. Neither
are they substances that go to make up
nutrition. That the dog eats and digests
bone is well known. Even cows gnaw
bones when their systems demand bone
making material. Hence the statement by
a contemporary, not. long since, that the
probability lay in the suppOsitiOn that
the bones and oyster shells We're only
good material as grinding substances in
the gizzard of fowls, Is not well founded.
But allowing that this be true, they are
among the best of grinding substances,
There Is no doubt but that while they
serve the purpose of a good grinding ma
terial at the same time, the more inn
portant part Is served of making bone
and sinew. and the material for the
shells of eggs. The difficulty is to get
the bone and the shells in a proper state
for being swallowed.

RIcHMoNo'S FAMOUS FIRE.
How . Great Piece Of News Was Treated
in the Old Day..

HOW = Great I'tece ut News w - Treated
in the Old Days
The editor Of The Richmond Standard
was present, and wrote the following ac-
count for his paper the next day:
last night the play house n this city
was crowded with an unusual audience.
There could not have been less than 600
persons in the house. Just before the
conclusion Of the play the scenery caught
fire The editor Of this paper was in the
house when the ever To be remembered de-
plorable accident occurred. He is in
formed that the scenery took fire in the
hack part of the house by the raising Of a
chandelier; that the boy who was ordered
by some of the players To raise il stated
that if he did SO the scenery would take
fire, when he was commanded in a per-
emptory manner To hoist it, The boy
Obeyed and the fire instantly communi-
Gated to the scenery. He gave the alarm
in the rear Of the stage and requested
some of the attendants to cut the cords by
which the combustible materials were sus-
pended. The person whose duty il was to
perform this became panic stricken and
sought his own safety.
The flames spread almost with the
rapidity of ligh;n ng, anl the fire falling
from the ceiling upon the performers was
the first notice the audience had OF their
danger. Even then many supposed il a part
OF the play, and We're a little time re-
strained from flight by a cry from the
stage that there was no danger. The per-
formers and their attendants in vain en-
deavored to tear down the scenery. The
fire flashed in every part Of the house with
a rapidity horrible and astonishing, and,
alas. gushing tears and unspeakable an
guish deprived ME of utterance.
There was but one door for the great
est part of the audience to pass. Men,
women and children were pressing upon
each other, while the flames were seizing
upon those behind. Those nearest the
windows, which were very high, were
afraid TO leap down, while those behind
them were seen catching on fire and
writhing in the greatest agony Of pain and
distress. Imagine what cannot
be described All of those in the pit es-
capped, and had cleared themselves from
the house before those in the boxes could
get down, and the door was for some time
empty. Those from above were pushing
each other down the steps, when the him
dernost might have got out by leaping
into the pit. There would not have been
the least difficulty in descending from the
first boxes into the pit. "-Richmond Cor.
